A four-run second inning spelled defeat for the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday night, as they fell 5-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field.
Pirates starter JT Brubaker lost for the second time in three starts, but aside from the pivotal second inning, he held the Brewers in check through his five-inning outing.
Brubaker gave up two earned runs, two hits and two walks while striking out six. The Brewers finished with just three hits in all and the Pirates had only four.
Brubaker entered the game with a 9.82 ERA, giving up four earned runs in three innings of his Opening Day start against St.
